Vigil for rape victims held at Garden Square

Solidarity

A candlelight vigil was held last night to pay respects to India’s 23-year-old gang-rape and murder victim and all rape victims around the world.
The Punjabi Press Club of Canada organized the vigil, which was held in Garden Square in front of the Rose Theatre from 5 to 8 p.m.
The 23-year-old student was gang-raped on a private bus and thrown out onto the street Dec. 16. Two weeks later, she died in hospital from the injuries inflicted on her during the attack. The attack has sparked vigils and protests across India.
